Sula Socratic Seminar During the Socratic Seminar the main issue that was discussed upon my classmates and I was weather or not there was a difference when a white person used the word nigger than when a black person used the word nigger. The discussion later went on to discuss how the word is more commonly used during present day, and how although it is still considered a bad word people use the word more freely. Gina and Alex brought up that the word is now used as a slang word. More often kids during this time period use the word referring to their friends. In my opinion I think that people especially kids have become to comfortable using the word, most kids have no filter and feel that it is okay to use the word not realizing that some people, especially black people still find the word offensive.
Looking at it now, being part of Delta Gamma has not only put my in the community of DGs but it has automatically placed me into the community of Pan-Hellenic sister around the Santa Clara campus. On one hand we are separate young women who come together to create one strongly unified group, but looking at DG as a community in the sense that is conveyed through “Arts of the Contact Zone” allows for people to assume a standard criteria of it’s members. Pratt quotes Benedict Anderson as he states that many members of a community, "will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them or even hear of them, yet in the mind of each lives the image of their communion," which
A teacher, trying to break up the fight, is eventually severely injured from his head being repeatedly bashed into the ground and has to be taken away on stretcher. This is the first major image we have of the “daily routine” at an urban school. With no previous knowledge of urban schools, this is the perception the viewer is given, that all urban schools are this out of control. This misrepresentation of urban schools is mainly overdramatized for the sake of the plot. But given that this is based on a true story, the viewer may take this as a blanket description for all urban schools.
He is the one who introduces the concept of phoniness. It starts with Holden telling the readers that he was yet again being kicked out of another school, this time for failing four out of his five courses. Holden could easily pass, but he refuses to do the work. Pencey is a good school, but Holden can only focus on the phoniness of the school and the students. Pencey’s ad says that they have been “Molding boys into splendid, clear-thinking young men” (2).
Why does Michael Moore want to tell us that the USA/Bill Clinton bombed Serbia only one hour before the school killings at Columbine High School? He wants to tell us that what the USA does, affect what the people in the USA may do. Michael Moore interviews a young man who says: If you are a loser now, you are a loser forever. Our opinion: We think that if someone tells you, that you are a loser, you just get into ‘a deep hole’. But if someone tells you that you have to move on and try, it’s easier to learn and get a good life.
Because nobody tries to help them or support them: “Without housing , access to a workspace, or access to a shower, students’ lives suffer, their grades suffer, and they are more likely to drop classes, if not withdraw entirely from school. I’ve seen it happen,” says Amit Rai, an English professor at a large, public university in Florida (qtd in Bader 697). And it is time to help the homeless students to find a place to stay and in the long run, it will help many students to graduate college successfully. Every homeless students have their own different journeys about how they become homeless so, it is hard to define the specific reason for all their struggles. For example, Aesha is a 20 yrs old at Kingsborough community college in Brooklyn, New York.
Their economic, social and cultural levels are barely noticeable. Many lack of arable land, water and communications. Normal Schools, especially in rural areas, were born with the idea of giving the opportunity to the poorest communities in Mexico to access an education that will help to improve their lives. Attacks on Ayotzinapa students who have mourned students and activists across the country, are the most violent onslaught that the student movement has received since 1968. But it is part of an ongoing and systematic harassment exerted by the three levels of government against rural normal school.
In her essay she doesn’t only blame the whites, or the blacks; she mentions how the environment shapes the teenage mind when it comes to race. Some People are being racist without knowing that they are being racist. She used a lot of examples to prove her readers that she’s right. She mentions that white people don’t say racist comments directly, but they would use racism stereotypes such as, “you should consider community college” or “I know you people love to dance” (Daniel 361). These are good examples that she uses because it’s something that we all hear once in a while.
He only talked about African Americans because other ethnicity didn’t get into the sport scenes until later on. Paul explains that African Americans are usually the ones that are being picked on. People (the society) would use stereotypically comments towards them. One stereotypic comment that Paul said was that, “[African Americans would] isolate from the rest of the campus and the reality [is] that they are in school to play sports, not to get a degree” (357). According to the article, that comment is true because he later explains how even though most of the African Americans become superior athletes; they struggle in the academic side.
However they know for this one day, they can go against these things in the “spirit” of Halloween without being confused or without contradicting their parents. These contradictions include but are not limited to such things as creatures/monsters are not real. This of course is the most popular one because most of us think of Halloween as a time to dress up and go get candy. Most of our costumes are scary, creatures and figures which are not real except in the world of fiction, such as movies, television, and our imaginations. Another contradiction is children should not speak to strangers.
